Do you have any favorites egg hunt events from the offerings around town? Or do you have any family egg hunt traditions you'd like to share?
This isn't really and egg-hunt. But one thing I started doing was having the kids collect all the stuffed bunnies, ducks and chicks in the house right before easter. Then this possee (sp?) forms the welcome committee for when the "real easter bunny" comes with their baskets. They like it, and they like extending this kind of hospitality. Kindof like cookies for Santa. I only did it because I didn't want to buy *new* stuffed bunnies every year, but also liked the photo op of a whole huge backdrop of bunnies behind the easter baskets.
